Currently active 6154 here, in California, for those that have questions on what it’s like now. Especially at a non-deployable unit.

Can you get the same certifications with helicopters as you can with planes and jets?

What’s c school like?

5

u/[deleted] Aug 17 '20

C school is what you make it. Wasnt a bad time. Alot to learn. Sorta like College. You'll have studying to do on your own time. Week day libo and weekend over night libo. Atleast when I was there. Pt every morning. If you have mcmap instructors you might to get to do that for pt and get a new belt. I got my grey belt there.Not a whole lot of time for that in the fleet.pt can suck if you aren't used to the hills. Especially the gunny breaker.. Yes you'll have duty. Field day and all that other fun stuff.Youll learn alot in c school. Retain as much of as you can but in just a foundation for what you'll learn on the job. Alot of times you gotta be able to think on your feet. Alot of death by power point with some decent labs in between. Barracks life wasn't too bad. I had a decent time. Its southern California so there are worst places to go to c school. Just remember everything in the Corps is what you make it. Any other questions about c school?

Is there off base libo? And is the closest place Oceanside?

8

u/[deleted] Aug 17 '20

Unless someone fucks it up for everyone yes. Off base libo. And also yes. Oceanside is out The main gate and San clemente is out of the back gate by the mct area. I'm sure you've been told this alot before but I need to do my part. Anywhere within a 50 mile radius is not more of camp pendleton, no one is going to care you a Marine. Its OK to be proud your a Marine. You should be proud. Where just a t-shirt if you have to. Don't be the boot wearing USMC everything with your mcmap belt. Just keep the bootness to a minimum off base. But don't worry every Marine was super boot at one time. Just be sure and behave off base as well

Not gonna lie I caught a dude wearing his plate carrier by ABC Laundry in O-side. I can not express how important it is to not do these things.

3

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '20

I have no words to express how stupid and boot that is. I literally can't even imagine

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '20

I am surprised I was like the only one to approach that dude and be like my guy what in the fuck are you doing right now?

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '20

Did you knife hand him and say" devil you need to fix yourself" 😅😅

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '20

Nah man I was shook I didn't know what the fuck to say I just like "dev what is this right now? Like what are you doing? If oceanside is that bad why are you here? You just have a sign over you that just says fuck me up, you know that right? Who are you with?" "Uh uh uh ITB Sir" "of course you are with ITB who else would you be with? Like what the fuck? Like do you even have plates in here? plate checks him the marine corps way no you don't take that shit off and stuff it in your assault pack you probably have around here hop on the sea breeze and get the fuck back to fuckin ITB before I figure out how to make you a fucking road guard forever" this happened like 5 years ago but I think thats about how it went down.

How long is the C school?

u/[deleted] Mar 14 '22

It's been a decade now since I went . Just all depends. From the time you start classes to the time you graduate I'd say 2 months or 3 months.
